The SSHD has the big capacity of an HDD, as well as most of the speed of the SSD. It works on a simple principle an HDD holds all of the data stored on the drive, while a small SSD holds the data we use the most. It was introduced as a form of an intermediary step between HDDs and SSDs. As the tests show, the different types of drives may differ much more (or much less) than we would expect. SSHD stands for Solid-State Hybrid Drive. Choosing the right hard drive shouldnt be limited only to its capacity. Sequential performance of the Toshiba SSHD was impressive as well, as seen in our ATTO and HDTune testing the drives caching algorithm appeared to catch on rather quickly, boosting our results in both benchmarks.ДЄt the time of writing the MSRP of the Toshiba SSHD in the 1TB capacity is set at $199.99. HDD, SSHD, SSD, M.2 - speed benchmark of hard drives. In many cases as seen in today's review, the 1TB Toshiba drive was quicker than its 500GB counterpart and additionally the 500GB Seagate comparable drive, including 4K random read and write. Accordingly, as your data usage pattern changes, drives like this Toshiba SSHD notice that and take into account that change, dumping data that is no longer relevant in favor of your current workload.

If you are like me and browse the web, check email among other things, then all that data you access over and over ends up in the 'hot data' pool and placed within that 8GB of cache.
